Full disclaimer: I didn’t read any recaps on the game and was out on a boat and then at a family dinner during the game. I followed it and know what happened, but I’m not “read in” on the vibe. Instead, I’m going to do one of those things that sportswriters do that everyone loves. I’m going to tell you what I think you should think. I’m going to use one of my favorite themes to do it too.
The glass is half empty. By my count, and I think generally accepted perception, the Cubs have let three of their first 14 games get away.
